Pros

Having worked at 4 companies prior to joining Givaudan, I was blown away at the remarkable level of inter-departmental and inter-regional cooperation at this company. I've had a valuable experience meeting and working with employees from Europe, the US and in Asia and was a truly valuable learning experience here. The work-life balance was great with a culture that encourages a healthy personal/family life. Higher managers often did travel a lot and employees worked hard during business hours but everyone enjoyed a good amount of vacation time every year. Everyone genuinely seemed happy to work there and the employee turnover rate seemed very low. Givaudan is a leader in its industry of flavor and fragrances so there was a sense of prestige working there as well. It was a wonderful experience working at Givaudan and if I didn't have to relocate due to family matters, I'm sure I would have stayed with the company for years on after.

Cons

The office technology in terms of programs and softwares can use some updating.

Pros

The company invests heavily in systems that facilitate the needed work and the company itself is well established and is strong in the industry.

Cons

Leadership culture feels highly political, with too much focus on hierarchy and personal advancement rather than supporting teams. Employees in junior and mid-level roles often feel overlooked and undervalued. There is strong pressure to deliver numbers, but limited attention given to employee wellbeing, fairness, or ethical decision-making. This creates a stressful and toxic work environment with low morale.
